Letter-writing is not DEAD

Letter-writing is not DEAD!

I recently found out that our British Post Office wants to do away with letters. Please help to make letter-writing an Art to treasure and encourage young people to keep it going! 

Rajiv Surendra inspired me to create a HANDMADE - hand-written - doodled BOOK for my dear Mum who is very sick in hospital. Thank you Rajiv for being such a true inspiration. I find your videos so interesting and educational. Your wonderful humour and uplifting character brings joy to my heart and you have helped me be creative again. There are no words to thank you enough for your inspiring films on Letter-writing and Bookmaking.

                          Letter-writing is not dead! Part 2


Rajiv Surendra’s Bookbinding Guide for Beginners | Intro to Bookbinding

I just love the book and story Rajiv created and the way he reads the story grabs your attention. Such a gifted man of many talents. Beautiful Watercolour illustrations. It is hard to let go of something you have spent many hours/months/years on, I agree. 

 

RAJIV INSPIRED ME TO MAKE A BOOK FOR MY MUM

Rajiv, thank you for inspiring me to make this Handmade, Handwritten Doodled book for my dear old mum. I believe perfection is over-rated. My book is far from perfect. But I know time is of the essence and this book will make my Mother smile. And that is all that counts. Reminding our parents how much joy they have given us as children I feel is very important. Sometimes we can take loved ones for granted, so I try not to.

     

POSTMAN SONG

I sent my daughter this postcard and video when we were apart.




When I was a little girl we did not have mobile phones or computers. We used to send letters. In the holidays I used to visit my family in Kent so I was away from my friend. Every holiday we would send letters to one another and write this poem I made up on the back of the envelope to make the Postman smile. 

Postman, Postman don't be slow
Get on your bike, and go man go


CHILDHOOD AUTHOR HELPED MY DAUGHTER TO LOVE READING

My daughter wrote to her favourite childhood author, Rachel Renee Russell when she was little. And told her how her books had helped her to love reading. Melody could hardly read, write and spell in school. Rachel's books encouraged her to read a big book. And I used Kindness, Art and Music to make reading fun, not stressful. Never stop dreaming! Melody is now a BOOKWORM and hopes to create her own book one day. 




Here is a Book Character my daughter Melody created, which I love, 
especially as she hated reading as a child.

Mum (Mom / Mother) BOOK HANDMADE

MUM (MOM / MOTHER) BOOK HANDMADE
CHILDHOOD MEMORIES



My Mum is in hospital, long story, but my heart sank when I heard her cry. I thought what can I do to make her smile. So I came up with the idea of making her a handmade book with all my happy childhood memories in it thanks to her. Mum's don't need perfection, so I know my Mum will love this book. The writing is scruffy and the Art is pretty naff, LOL. Will it make her smile, absolutely, so it was well worth the time and effort it took to create it. 

Here I share some of my funny and very happy childhood memories:

       




There are many more tutorials on YouTube, check them all out. 
Happy Crafting everyone.

Japanese Knotweed Garden UK

JAPANESE KNOTWEED GARDEN UK

I would like to thank TCM Knotweed Services for sharing one of my Japanese Knotweed Smoothies and my link to some of my research on this wonderful valuable herbal JK plant: 


Here is a photo of our Patio area, and main garden. The Japanese Knotweed has not ventured into our main Garden in the 20 years we have lived at this address. We were very badly mis-sold on this house and garden, and I can honestly say that Japanese Knotweed is the only good thing about this property. I refuse to pass this problem onto another family. So I am determined to turn the Negative into a Powerful Positive. 




I would love to show you round our Japanese Knotweed Garden and hope it will help gardner's rethink this valuable plant and how important it is to have an organic garden for your families/pets health and nature itself.




With some luck we will one day manage to get the kitchen fixed so I can start on my Japanese Knotweed Project. Or maybe with a little ANGEL luck, I will get some sort of support to make it happen.

THANK YOU JAPANESE KNOTWEED MY DEAR HERBAL FRIEND FOR HELPING ME TO BREATHE WITHOUT DRUGS

Also thank you to my MP Tonia Antoniazzi for writing to the Health Minister and taking the time to look at my Health Records, which prove I no longer need DRUGS to breathe.

How can you not love this wonderful herbal plant?




SAVING TREES BY USING JAPANESE KNOTWEED PAPER

I am very proud to say I have purchased some Japanese Knotweed PAPER from overseas. Saving trees. 

https://notweedpaper.com/




HERE IS MY HOMEMADE JAPANESE KNOTWEED PAPER. IT IS MORE LIKE CARD. 
I look forward to drawing on the Japanese Knotweed paper I have purchased from overseas. It would have been amazing if I could have got ARTISTS from all over the world to create Pollinating Art on 8 x 8 cm circled Japanese Knotweed paper for me to Exhibit. Sadly, the UK does not fund Art projects such as this. So I feel I will have to take some drawing lessons and do the Art myself.  



If anyone is interested in my projects. Please feel free to contact me. 
Details below. Thank you for listening. :)

SMART DOLL Blue Suede Boots


SMART DOLL BLUE SUEDE BOOTS
FREE PATTERN



I made these Blue Suede Smart Doll Boots from Danny Choo's Free Smart Doll Boot (shoe) Pattern for my daughter. Thank you Danny! I look forward to my daughter showcasing her new Smart Doll Character that she is creating for her Musical Story. Danny Choo is an amazing person with a kind heart. The fact that he pays his staff a wage that allows them to live a happy life makes me feel proud. I hope others will follow in his footsteps.




LIBERTY IS MY FAVOURITE DANNY CHOO DOLL

I adore that Danny Choo has created dolls that are not perfect and have health conditions. 
Liberty and the meaning that goes with this doll warms my heart. Hope is just around the corner. Change is possible! We just need to be team players.


PERFECTION IS OVER RATED! LOVE YOURSELF FOR WHO YOU ARE!!!!


Quote from Danny Choo's website about Liberty:

I want to share some definitions the name "Liberty."

  1. Freedom from arbitrary or despotic government or control.
  2. Freedom from external or foreign rule; independence.
  3. Freedom from control, interference, obligation, restriction, hampering conditions.
  4. Freedom from captivity, confinement, or physical restraint.

Let's suppose there are 195 countries on this planet led by 195 people. This means that 195 people get to decide the fate of 8 billion people on this planet.

Throughout history and until today, a handful of these leaders have caused the misery of millions of humans.




HERE IS A BEAUTIFUL DRAWING MY DAUGHTER CREATED OF A VICTORIAN GIRL


Melody took an old Victorian Girl photo and changed the face shape to make it her own.


I cannot wait to see what costume my daughter (Melody Angel Art) designs for her Smart Doll, and how she turns her into a fantastic character in her Musical Story Book.

MELODY ANGEL ART

Feel free to pop by and say hi to my Arty daughter Melody who hopes to study Art in University this year. She is currently doing her Art Foundation Course. Any tips and tricks to obtain Art Education Funding in the UK would be so appreciated. I hate debt!






STUDENTS IN THE UK NEED HELP. I SEE LOTS OF GRANTS AND SUPPORT FOR OVERSEAS STUDENTS. WHERE IS THE HELP FOR OUR YOUNG PEOPLE HERE IN THE UK?
I HATE DEBT!

Dog friendly HOTEL near BATH UK

DOG FRIENDLY HOTEL NEAR BATH (UK)

Bath (UK) is very, very expensive when it comes to Hotels, especially if you have a dog (they charge £20+ for your pooch) and also can charge for the Pool. But not at Fieldways Hotel. Bargain!


OUR REVIEW OF THIS WONDERFUL GRADE II LISTED
EDWARDIAN MANSION,
WHICH IS NOW FIELDWAYS HOTEL


Feildway's Hotel made our daughters Birthday a very special visit indeed. She is a huge Jane Austen fan, so this Historic Building was right up her street. "Mum, when can we go back?" she asked. We really enjoyed our stay. As soon as she got out the car she started taking photos and enjoyed walking round all the beautiful wood carved rooms. Stunning!

Sue on Reception was so helpful and bubbly, she really makes all the guests feel at home. Some Hotels you are treated like a number, so it really enhanced our stay with such a wonderful happy atmosphere.

http://www.fieldways.co.uk/hotel.html




POETS' RESTAURANT

Here is the stunning wood carved dinning room where we had breakfast.
Carved heads of 15 Poets are around the walls and on the doors - one being Shakespeare.


We wanted to do something special for our daughters birthday. On her 18th we were stuck in as it was C*vid Times. But thankfully it snowed. Staying at Fieldways Hotel was a dream come true for our Melody. We had a cosy warm Family Room (three single beds) for three adults and our doggy. The Shower was wonderful, and you had the option of having a bath. 

I cannot thank the staff enough. The breakfast was yummy! And we even got chatting to some of the guests who were very friendly indeed. 

I cannot recommend Fieldways Hotel enough. I do hope others will take the time to give a positive review. Our businesses have suffered so much because of C*vid. It is so important we do all we can to preserve buildings such as these so future generations can enjoy the amazing history and beauty.

Japanese Knotweed organic SOAP Resveratrol

JAPANESE KNOTWEED ORGANIC SOAP 
TRANS RESVERATROL  ANTI-AGEING

This Organic Japanese Knotweed (Resveratrol) soap has the least amount of chemicals in it. It is organic, SLS, SLES and MPG free, it also contains no sulphates or parabens. Oxford Bio confirm that Japanese Knotweed has been used in the Cosmetic Industry for over a decade as an anti-ageing product. 



Information from Oxford Bio

There are hundreds of skincare products using resveratrol as this quick search on cosdna shows:

Resveratrol has been known and used in skincare products for over a decade. Here’s an article from April 2011 New York Times “Resveratrol: A New ‘It’ Cosmetic Ingredient" 

Product Benefits:

  • Vegan
  • Contains no MPG or synthetic surfactants that are not approved by the certifying body 
  • Has a natural light brown colour from the organic oils and organic sugar 
  • Excellent foaming and lather
  • Moisturising properties and smooth skin feel as a result of high glycerine content


I ran out of my Japanese Knotweed Soap last year and started to use a shop brought soap. My hands have suffered. They are very dry. I never needed to moisturise my hands when I used my Homemade Japanese Knotweed Organic Soap. My friend who does Massage tried the Japanese Knotweed Soap and loved it. She showed me how soft her skin feels after using the soap. I have had a few really good reviews.

THIS JAPANESE KNOTWEED REMOVAL COMPANY SUPPORTS MY RESEARCH AND ONE OF MY JAPANESE KNOTWEED SMOOTHIE RECIPES




I AM CURRENTLY WORKING ON A JAPANESE KNOTWEED PROTECT WHICH I HOPE WILL PROTECT MOTHER EARTH AND OUR POLLINATORS. ALSO SUPPORT STRUGGLING FAMILIES, THE HOMELESS, ARTISTS, AND CHILDREN THAT SUFFER IN THE SCHOOL SYSTEM




DID YOU KNOW THAT THEY ARE MAKING JAPANESE KNOTWEED PAPER OVERSEAS. THIS IS SAVING OUR MUCH NEEDED TREES!

I hope to work with Artists from all over the world to produce some amazing Pollinating Art using Japanese Knotweed paper for the Japanese Knotweed Project I am working on. Here is some of my Homemade Japanese Knotweed paper:


Just take a look at our Japanese Knotweed Garden video. We have now lived at this address for 20 years and still to this date the Japanese Knotweed has not ventured into our main garden. It is still in the same place. Thankfully no more pesticides have been used near my garden so I am able to use the Japanese Knotweed again for my smoothies, organic soap making and paper making.


NEW JAPANESE KNOTWEED GARDEN VIDEO 2022



In 2002 I was badly mis-sold on our house. The ex owners must have cut down and burnt the Japanese Knotweed in the garden as it was nowhere to be seen. The Estate Agent did not pick up on it. I think this way because the Blocked off Stream that sometimes floods our Patio was not mentioned in the sale, and it was not on the Land Register. We were ripped off badly. Not to mention all the other problems. I know the full history of the stream and why it got blocked off now. 

I refuse to do this property up with all it's faults and lie and sell it to another poor family. I do not want them to go through the trauma we have had to endure in this house. So I will continue with my venture and turn Japanese Knotweed into a powerful positive. One day this plant will be loved! 

THANK YOU JAPANESE KNOTWEED FOR CURING MY LUNG HEALTH - I LOVE YOU!

Seek Medical/Herbal advice before taking any herbal plants they claim are weeds.
